Luke Shaw has admitted that Manchester United 'need a long hard look' at themselves following their 6-1 defeat at home to Tottenham.
Shaw described the defeat at Old Trafford as 'embarrassing', with United capitulating after Anthony Martial was sent off in the 28th minute.
Speaking to Sky Sports after the game Shaw said: 'It's embarrassing. I was embarrassed on the pitch. We need a long hard look at ourselves.
'It was a lack of concentration and then a mistake, another mistake, another mistake. We switched off. It really hurts.'
The left-back admitted that a club of United's stature shouldn't be suffering such a heavy defeat.
He said: 'Manchester United shouldn't lose in this manner. It really hurts, it's embarrassing and we've let a lot of people down. We've let ourselves down and the staff down.
'We need to look in the mirror, we are nowhere near it at the moment. Maybe it's lucky that we've got a break now.
'When we went down to 10 men maybe we gave up, there wasn't that character on the pitch. We were too quiet and naive. There was many mistakes, we need to do more.'
United took the lead through a penalty from Bruno Fernandes in just the second minute, but Tottenham quickly responded through Tanguy Ndombele, with Son Heung-min and Harry Kane both proceeding to score braces while Serge Aurier also got on the scoresheet.
Shaw himself endured a miserable afternoon and the 25-year-old could soon find himself out of the starting lineup, with United looking to secure the signing of Alex Telles from Porto.
Edinson Cavani is also set to join as a free agent but it could take some time for United to recover from this defeat.
United have taken just three points out of a possible nine in the Premier League so far this season, and there is much room for improvement for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

Even shaw was poor today.. Lot of goals was from his position. He and Maguire were always with each other.. Ole tried to put all his best squad the players are the problem
Maguire was in a CAM position always attacking but is too slow to come back Shaw was covering him the whole match it’s better to have a hole in the wing than hole in the centre

Ole has to take the blame too. what can you say about the humiliating matches against crystal palace and Brighton? Can he still hide behind the usual excuse of lack of transfer. I am not talking about trophies, because that should be the worry of next generation if the game is played in this way
He had players that lacked fitness why do you think city lost their match as well same reason as what does a manager do if one of his players can’t even head a ball away the coach doesn’t teach how to play football he teaches the team principles and the different things to do in a match

noo no ....yes the board is a fucking virus killing the club slowly...but yesterdays performance was the players and managers fault ...they lacked no desire and passion as a man utd player ...we had enough quality to down Tottenham or crystal palace at home ... the players lacked desire and passion and ole got his tactics wrong yesterday after going 1 man down he shud have reacted but still the man was busy sitting in his chair like miss world
He sits in his chair to check var he literally played for us and showed all the passion in the world

Luke Shaw needs a long hard look at himself. I saw him tackle a Spurs player in second half when he deserved a red card himself when he couldn’t get the ball he did a sliding tackle to try bring the player down but the Spurs player jumped over his legs to continue on. If he had connected his sliding tackle he may have injured the Spurs player so he was lucky. If ManU are loosing we don’t need this kind of action.
He doesn’t want it to be 7 does he

sack that Woodward we are very angry an tired of changing couches ole does not have any problem the management of man u I don't know what are they thinking about if other club are buy player to improve an strength their team while us nothing improved if look van de beek who is signed is not really a player need I was not expecting sign he the playing same position with bruno an pogba because both can able to play attacking midfield. Rice or Greelishe or Madson those between those three can improve our team.

Our problem at the defence is not only Shaw. the main problem is maguire. too slow and very easy to be dribbled. he should be benched for linderloff and baily to play together.

most goals came from assists from the their right wing thd left back he should be controlling
let's not exagerate...it's all bcoz of our captain Maguire.

United players are not a problem,the problem is Woodward and his Glazers they are disconecting us from loving ManU,why cant they pull out ?They are better directors who are willing to do a busness with that team,nw Man U is like a Army without weapons but claiming to fight,its impossible,some teams are buying players Man U is hiring securities for Woodward,wht is that?Whilst woodward is the one who destroys the team,as long as Man U is being leaded by Glazers n Woodward United will end up relagated,

Luke Shaw is not nearly to be at left fullback, may be he was confused of his role. Aurier assisted and scored freely as if he was registered as United player. Shame on you Shaw
